“This is ISS’ second contract with Stadiums Queensland”, said Bruce Smith, National Manager Business Development for ISS in their leisure and entertainment sector. “We will certainly be looking to apply the experience and learnings attained at other venues in our work at Dairy Farmers Stadium. We have a strong local presence in Townsville with the airport and City Council contracts. We look forward to working with Dairy Farmers Stadium and the North Queensland Cowboys to ensure a clean and safe environment, and helping to provide the best possible match day experience for patrons”.

The ISS management team has worked hard to understand the unique nature of the site and the issues faced, in order to provide the most effective solution. ISS will commence services for the contract at Dairy Farmers Stadium from the end of February 2012.
